Seeing Klor get banned makes me realize that this means one less dipshit to drive inane debates. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

In the case of Kloro...he went a step too far.

I feel confident that in no time a new dipshit will show up to take his place. There seems to be an endless supply.

They eventually implode, fall to pieces, or loose their squeaker.  Who wants a squeaky toy with no squeaker?  In the trash it goes.

I can't give an either/or to a cycle that includes both states.

Well, it seems to me that this forum functions best when someone who is, what you call, stupid or naive, or uninformed opens a topic and then other members hurl in to correct him or her.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I missed whatever he did. I have him on ignore, like the other turds currently floating in the punch bowl.

I wasn't speaking of Klor specifically, I just used him as an example. What I'm wondering is does a forum suffer when it runs low on idiots and morons? We might ask the same of trolls.

Did he just pretend to be an admin or did he do more?

On topic:

If it's this Moron:




he should be pre-banned.
